Dutch lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that they can’t rely on AI-generated legal advice because chatbots are often inaccurate, the Financieele Dagblad (FD) found when speaking to several lawfirms. A recent survey by Deloitte showed that 60 percent of lawfirms see clients trying to perform simple legal tasks with AI tools, hoping to achieve a faster turnaround or lower fees.

I think my least favourite thing about AI is when customers tell me something won't take as long as I say, if I use AI. Look, if AI can do it why do you need me?

The fact I'm not out of a job (yet) is because apparently AI cannot do everything I can. The very second it can I'll be long gone.

So I am on the side of the lawyers here. For the first and only time.

Law in particular is such a gnarly subject that you really want to have someone who knows what they are saying about anything. And even then they can be wrong too

And at least they won't hallucinate past cases in front of a judge.

And it would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for that darn pesky judge!
